The Sims 5

The Sims 5 is rumoured to be free-to-play at launch, following a new job listing.

With a working title of Project Rene, the next core entry in the life-simulation series is currently in development – and it looks like fans might be able to start playing at no cost when it's eventually released.

EA is advertising for a Head of Monetization & Marketplace for Project Rene (via @TheHenfordHen on Twitter), and an interesting detail in the listing is that Project Rene has been described as a "free-to-enter game".

This lines up with comments that Giant Bomb journalist and industry insider Jeff Grubb made last September, when he said that EA was considering making The Sims 5 a live-service game.

Interesting, but not massively surprising: I think I got The Sims 4 base game for free from a promotion too, and then I bought a few of the DLCs and expansions (which have always been the real money-makers with that game ).

So, are you interested in The Sims 5?

I've never played The Sims, but it looks interesting, so I might give it a try sometime.

I like slice of life stuff, so it might be a game I'd enjoy.

I wish I could play sims. Maybe I would make scenarios from my dreams in that game if it’s possible to do.

Edit; or make the characters talk about my dreams xD
